Mostly a blog with photo's I've taken that I think turned out really well. I might also share some of my photo/photo editing tips I've learned over the years. I'm not a professional by ANY means, but I hope I am getting better and taking better photos. :)

Panorama's with Photoshop

Photoshop has made making Panorama's really easy. Take the photos. Open Photoshop (I'm using CS3, don't know if this is in previous versions). Choose File -> Automate -> Photomerge. Browse to your images and select them all. Leave all the defaults there. Click the OK button and wait. Depending on the size of each photo, how many photos you have and the speed of your computer, this could take awhile.

The above photo is made of six images each about 2MB. It took about 10 minutes on my laptop, but I also have a lot of other things open at the same time and was actually trying to work. Once the merge is done all that's left is to crop it out and you're done!

This is sooooo easy and cool that I'm going to start making more panorama's.

About Me

I'm a computer geek (been working with Progress for 20+ yrs) who loves playing my trumpet (have since 4th grade and was in a cool band for 10 years) and good microbrewed beer, not that fizzy yellow stuff Bud calls beer. While also enjoy hiking, playing video/computer games, working in the yard, driving, and many other things, what gives me the most pleasure is my wonderful wife, son and daughter. I'm always amazed I actually got married and I have kids! haha Oh, and if there's any chocolate chip cookies around, you'd better hide them!
